The data is indeed encrypted, but both you and the VPN provider have the keys - that’s why they advertise no-logs policies, because they have access to the data you send, such as which website you’re attempting to visit.

Do you think chronic downvoting is a good reason to ban someone?

No, absolutely not. If downvoting bothers you, you should move to an instance that does not show downvoting.

Moderators that go down the path of trying to discourage/restrict downvoting simply show they are thin-skinned.

Since you believe the downvoting to be chronic, it may be worth your time to ask the person why they are downvoting so much, especially without engagement.
